Lycopene and cognitive function [PDF]
Decreases in cognitive function related to increases in oxidative stress and inflammation occur with ageing. Acknowledging the free radical-quenching activity and anti-inflammatory action of the carotenoid lycopene, the aim of the present review was to ...

Deltamethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid widely used as the insecticide of choice in most countries because of its high activity against a broad spectrum of insect pests. This experimental study aimed to evaluate the histopathological and ultrastructural changes in the thyroid caused by deltamethrin, also to further evaluate the potential genotoxic ...

Development of lycopene micelle and lycopene chylomicron and a comparison of bioavailability
The objectives of this study were to develop lycopene micelles and lycopene chylomicrons from tomato extracts for the enhancement and comparison of bioavailability. Lycopene micelles and chylomicrons were prepared by a microemulsion technique involving tomato extract, soybean oil, water, vitamin E and surfactant Tween 80 or lecithin in different ...

A Possible Indicator of Oxidative Damage in Smokers: (13Z)-Lycopene? [PDF]
In vitro, the gaseous phase of cigarette smoke is known to induce both isomerization and degradation of dietary carotenoids, such as β-carotene and lycopene.

The proportion of lycopene isomers in human plasma is modulated by lycopene isomer profile in the meal but not by lycopene preparation [PDF]
Dietary lycopene consists mostly of the (all-E) isomer. Upon absorption, (all-E) lycopene undergoes isomerisation into various (Z)-isomers. Because these isomers offer potentially better health benefits than the (all-E) isomer, the aim of the present study was to investigate if the profile of lycopene isomers in intestinal lipoproteins is affected by ...

Ameliorative Effect of Lycopene and Capsaicinoid Glucoside in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. [PDF]
Lycopene and capsaicinoid glucoside synergistically reduce leukemia cell proliferation, restore oxidative balance, and normalize hematological parameters in benzene‐induced rat models, demonstrating potent anti‐apoptotic and cytotoxic effects in vitro and in vivo.

Singlet fission in heterogeneous lycopene aggregates [PDF]
We have prepared lycopene aggregates with negligible scattering in an acetone-water suspension. The aggregates exhibit highly distorted absorption, extending from the UV up to 568 nm, as a result of strong excitonic interactions. We have investigated the

Lycopene inhibits angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and rat aortic rings [PDF]
Angiogenesis is important for tumour vascularisation and growth, and is therefore a promising target for cancer therapy. The present study reports inhibition ofin vitroangiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as well as in rat ...
